TF2 1800s

[Garbodor #BoycottTF2]

In the TF2 comics there's a panel showing the first mercenaries hired by redman and blutart, for a few years now I've been thinking about a mod set in this time period with these mercs. I've had a few ideas for weapons for the characters, would appreciate some help with some of them.

Scout(Billy The Kid)
Primary: I never could think of something for him, maybe a single shot shotgun
Secondary: Maybe some type of six shooter
Melee: A big ol club

Soldier(General Forrest/Stonewall Jackson)
Primary: Another one I had trouble with, perhaps some kind of shoulder mounted single shot cannon with a large blast radius, or some kind of large musket with a similar effect
Secondary:A standard caplock musket, maybe shoots a fast projectile rather than using hitscan dealing a good chunk of damage
Melee:A standard military saber

Pyro(Abe Lincoln) I don't feel like Lincoln belongs with the other mercs, as he just looks jarring when next to them, maybe he should be replace with someone else
Primary:A flamethrower with an arc to it's flame, maybe some kind of napalm effect when it lands on the ground. Or it could just shoot bursts of flames like the original pyro's napalm launcher from TFC
Secondary: Caplock musket
Melee:Some type of whip, or whip like weapon

Demoman(Alfred Noble)
Primary: Lobs sticks of dynamite, should probably have a low ammo count and throw range
Secondary: Packs on dynamite with a timer on them, set amount of time before detonation, maybe could have some kind of plunger mechanic
Melee: some kind of large pestle or club

Heavy(John Henry)
Primary: slow firing gatling gun with a relatively low clip size, maybe even a slow reload
Secondary: A bottle of soda, heals the user for a 100 health maybe can be thrown to allies
Melee: Whale bone hammer

Engineer(Nikola Tesla)
Primary: Some kind of single shot shotgun or musket
Secondary:A six shooter maybe
Melee: A monkey wrench fitting the era
Sentry: A tesla tower that shocks enemies within it's radius
Dispenser: Some kind of steampunk-esc refrigerator or vending machine like device that heals at the rate of a lvl 1 dispenser
Teleporter: I have no ideas for this

Medic(Sigmund Freud)
Primary: Some kind of crossbow or dart gun, maybe with a clip to it
Secondary: Some kind of beaker or mason jar that is thrown, leaving a cloud of AoE healing maybe even adding debuffs to enemies(made with Freud's very own cocaine stash)
Melee: Some kind of bonesaw appropriate to the time period, or beaker

Sniper(Davy Crockett)
Primary: A rifled musket with a scope, maybe uses hitscan instead of being a projectile
Secondary: Maybe a six shooter, or if we want to be wild a literal raccoon he throws at enemies and deals damage over time
Melee: A machete or club

Spy(Fu Manchu)
Primary: A derringer pistol
Secondary: Some kind steampunk like device that disables buildings, but has to recharge after use
Melee: Some kind of asian inspired dagger
Cloak: Maybe he can only go into a cloak when he stands still, and loses it when bumped into or switches weapons or fires a weapon

I found 1850's Soldier's model. Looks very good.

there's also a John Henry one, and pretty sure I saw a Billy the Kid one. From what I remember the Billy the Kid one wasn't that great.

this would actually be a pretty dope theme for an update

Maybe an alternative game mode?

I would love for an update themed around this, but to Valve isn't going to do the work themselves. Even the workshop doesn't have many items themed around the 1800s, meaning Valve probably won't do anything with it. That's why I mention a mod being made, similar to TF2C. The issue that comes with that is people like Tyler McVicker that subvert the project and cause it to crash and burn.

Impressive and creative.

Speaking of the comics,

we still don't have a ending for them

The mythical number seven.
